I'm here to talk about homely things
In the movie "Article 20", Director Zhang, played by Zhang Yi, initially gave the impression of the ruthless villain, however, as the plot deepened, we gradually saw his true face. It turns out that he is just a selfless person with the ultimate pursuit of justice. It wasn't until the end that we realized that we had misunderstood him.
First, from Zhang Yi's point of view, his son is a child from a single-parent family, Zhang Ke, Zhang Yi can't imagine that his son, who is very obedient to him on weekdays, would do such a thing as beating and bullying his classmates. Therefore, he will ask the security department to strictly review and monitor**, just because he can't accept that his son Zhang Ke, the child who was once deeply cared for by him, would behave such a bad behavior.
Director Zhang clearly knew that his son Zhang Ke was beaten by Han Yuchen, and he had a broken nose, which met the criteria for filing a case. Out of his father's protection of his son Zhang Ke, he refused to accept any form of bribe, whether it was money or gifts. For the sake of Han Yuchen, Ma Li asked Lei Jiayin to give the only two bottles of iron-capped Moutai at home to Director Zhang, in order to ask for Director Zhang's forgiveness.
However, Director Zhang refused all gifts, he only longed for an apology from Han Yuchen, an apology that could soothe the pain in his heart. Director Zhang had given Ma Li many opportunities to apologize, but after investigation, he found that his son was indeed a bully, so he decided not to pursue the matter, but decisively withdrew the case. In addition, he also proposed to the school that his son should be punished.
However, when Ma Li hit him, his hand was broken. Zhang Yi also insisted on suing Han Yuchen's mother. The reason for all this is just because Ma Li hurt him. Ma Li's reckless behavior hurt him a lot.
His son Zhang Ke was beaten and had a broken nose, his son was a bully, and Director Zhang's own hand was broken by Ma Li.
In the process of handling these three cases, Director Zhang showed his principles and bottom line. He took the three cases apart and dealt with them, and he insisted on justice and the law. In a way, he was a law-abiding man.
Overall, Director Zhang is a complex and authentic character. It also shows us the importance of upholding justice and the law. His role exists precisely to remind us that we need to uphold justice and the law in order to maintain the justice of life.
Second, why did Zhang Guisheng petition again after writing the "Guarantee of No Petitioning"?
Inside the bus, a beautiful woman is suddenly harassed by two men. This frightening scene was witnessed by Zhang Guisheng with his own eyes. He didn't hesitate and immediately stood up to stop the two men. Then, in a fit of rage, he took out a fire extinguisher from the car and slammed it into the man's head. Such actions led him to face charges of intentional injury, which eventually led to a three-year prison sentence.
When Zhang Guisheng was released, Han Ming always cared about him and helped him find job opportunities. After some hard work, Han Ming finally helped Zhang Guisheng find a suitable job, and he persuaded Zhang Guisheng to let go of his past grievances and stop petitioning. Zhang Guisheng was deeply moved by Han Ming's advice, and agreed not to petition again, so that he signed his name on a letter of guarantee. However, on the eve of the official start of work, he once again embarked on the road of petitioning. In the rapid progress of the motorcycle, Zhang Guisheng unfortunately suffered a car accident and died instantly.
Although Zhang Guisheng has forgotten about this matter, his daughter still firmly believes that her father has done nothing wrong, and she firmly believes that everything her father did is right. In order to comfort her daughter and let her not be sad about this matter.
Although he had signed a pledge not to petition again, he hoped that he would get a fair account through the last petition.
3. Why did Han Ming want Zhang Guisheng to sign the letter of guarantee?
The reason why Han Ming persuaded Zhang Guisheng to write a letter of guarantee is because in this seemingly just society, cases like Zhang Guisheng are not unique.
He showed Zhang Guisheng the surveillance video frame by frame, and pointed out to him when it was self-defense, when it was mutual assault, and when it was intentional injury.
However, is the scope of justifiable defense really so well defined? How could a normal person make such an accurate decision in such a short period of time? Han Ming knows very well how difficult his situation is, but Han Ming is for the sake of his family and the future of his work. Therefore, he could only simplify the matter as much as possible, help Zhang Guisheng find a job, and persuade him to stop petitioning.
Han Ming's complex personality was fully demonstrated in this process. On the one hand, he doesn't want to repeat Hao Xiuping's mistakes, and on the other hand, he also wants to keep his job. This contradiction makes the characters he portrays a kind of irony and helplessness.
